A 🧵 on inclusive cycle parking in London. bsky.app/profile/dccb...
Many people with disabilities cycle, and in many cases it is their preferred means of getting about.

Hi, the sign reads "larger cycles"? That's a nice, simple and inclusive phrasing.
November 7, 2025 at 10:18 AM
Yes, appears to be.

"Drivers often enter a low-traffic zone because it's unclear when they're allowed to. For eg, Steenstraat is low-traffic every day, but Geldmuntstraat is only on weekends. They're green when you can drive through, red when you can't."

Presumably e-cargobikes could do the same.

But perhaps you're right - if they don't have much congestion for cars, they might be able to cover a wider area faster.

@bicycdutch.bsky.social might know?

Hi Cathy, it being Utrecht, do you know why cars are used rather than cargo bikes for example? It's not mentioned in that document.

Perhaps because of how cycles are separated away from parked cars and so can't see the number plates? Or perhaps other reasons such as safety of the vehicle operator?

Hi, both should be the solution.

1. Lots of regular bike stands as the free, basic, default - for residents and visitors.

2. Then the additional option of BikeBunkers for residents who want an extra layer of security or protection.

(In terms of space, BikeBunkers are about the same efficiency.)

This EU initiative would provide a more formalised way to approach the same 😊 - facilitating City-to-City learning.

Thanks Oisina!

If you were to be very critical and suggest some improvements, what would they be?

9 people have so far suggested their street for the #StreetMixBETA trial.

Reading the additional info that people provide is very valuable.

1. It can signal how people interpret a particular project and what is important to them.

2. If themes emerge, it can be a source for potential new projects.

Hi Bob, they are indeed! 😊

There is also a spectrum...

From the neighbour living two metres away all year round, to the person who visits Dublin City once a year on a match-day.

From the young child who cannot venture far, to the adult who can benefit from a greater area.

It is indeed. Thanks Lee, great to have the list like that.
